TEALE'S LIGHT LINE FHONOGfRAPHY. 



" Great j)raise is duo to the gentlemen who report for the periodical 
I)ress for the very accurate reports they f urni3!i by means of their 
lengthy and defective systems of stenography." I believe this ctate- 
Tiicnt was first penned in the year 1^45, and haii been printed in 
Isaac Pitman's boohs ever since. It was aimed at llic old-fashioned 
syslems of shorthand. I now cast it bach at its author, simply sub- 
stituting the word "Phonography" for the v/ord " otenocraphy." 
There is no doubt that some v.-riters of old-fashioned phonography, 
after five or ten years* experience, succeed in doing excellent vrork 
with their lengthy and defective systems of shorthand, and when we 
consider that each outline in the Pitmanic systems* represents from 
six to fourteen different words, and that the unfortunate steno- 
giai hi>r must guess which is the right one, the only wonder is that 
l.hoy can ever do good work. 

iw Ttale's Light Line Phonography each outline represents one or 
i.vo words, scarcely ever more than two. Of these two words one 
is generally a word of rare occurrence. For example: T written on 
the line represents the words It or Tea and nothing else. 

In the Pitmanic systems, T on the line represents five words; T 
when shaded becomes D, and represents eight words more. As 
shading is almost impossible in rapid writing, T on the line in a Pit- 
man reporter's notes represents thirteen different words, and the un- 
fortunate rei^orter must guess which is the right one. In Teale's 
system, P on the line represents Hope or Pay and nothing else, w^kile 



* In speaking of the Pitmanic systems of phonography, we include 
all systems wliich arc based on the P tman alphabet, such as 
Munson, Graham, Longley, Marsh, etc. 



in tho Pitmanic systems P ontlio lino roprosonta six words; P when 
shaded becomes B, ajid represents eight words more, or fourteen 
in all. 

Of course the student is told that he will know which is the cor- 
rect word by the context, but, as almost every character in his notes 
is equally ambiguous, the context is a very unreliable guide, and 
the reporter is obliged to guess, and guess, and guess; and very 
often he guesses wrong. In Light Line Phonography guessing is 
out of the question — the student reads and does not guess. 
- Now about speed. A few minutes' examination of the engraved 
notes in this pamphlet will prove to the stenographer that Light 
Line Phonography is fundamentally the most rapid system of short- 
hand in the world. 

In ordinary phonography there are thousands of contractions to 
be learned by heart; and if the student is not blessed with a remark- 
able memory he will surely fail in becoming an expert stenographer 
with those systems. 

Liglit Line Phonography is fundamentally so rapid that very few 
contractions are necessary, and consequently there is very little to 
remember. • 

The remarkable legibility of Teale's Light Line Phonography 
makes it certain that in the nesir future this system of shorthand 
will bo universally used. As a consequence of this remarkable 
• legibility the eld time practice of employers reading over and cor- 
rectin.'^j letters written by stenographers will be entirely abandoned. 
An employer can put as much confidence in the accuracy of letters 
written in this system of shorthand as if they were dictated to a 
lon;!;hand writer, and consequently Etenographers who use this system 
can cf)mmand better salaries than any others.

REPORTING. 
In the last exercise dotted lines are 
used, this is to show the difference in 
position. In reporting medial vowels are 
generally cmijf(itted, and the consonant out- 
lines v/ritten in three positions -to indicate 
the first vowell. 



( 15 )

that the first vowel is ah, aw. or i thvis:

TRY. ._, ... 

There was once a good little dv/arg . •'.:'• 

najned Try, who was so pcwerful that he 

.overeame everything thai he attempted, and .- 

yet was so small that people laughed when 

they were told .of his wonde?:*o\is powers. ...iii 

But iii%. liny inan was so kind at heart jooj^ 

and loved so much to serve those ^^^Jb-zo ^= 

were less able than himself, that he would 

go and beg of those who knew him better to 

plead for him that he might be allowed to 

help them out of their troubles^ and 

v/hen once he had made them happ?^, '-byj . \ 

his noble deeds they no longer despised:- . 

him, or drove him away but loved him as 

their best friend; yet the only return 



( Z8:) 

this good dwarf sought for all his services 

was that when they knew any one who wanted 
a helping hand , they would say a good 
word in his favor and commend them to Try, 

The V/olf and the Lam^s^^ 
One hot day a wolf caine to 'quench his 
thirst at a clear brook that ran down the 
side of a hill. By chance a young lamb 
stood thereo The wolf had a desire to e.it 
her, but felt some qualms so for a plea^he 
made out that the lamb was his foe. * 
" Stand off from the banks sir said he, 
for as you tread them you stir mud in the 
stream, and all X acn get to drink is thick 
and foul. The young lamb said in a mild tone 

that she did not see how that could be the 
case , as the brook ran down to her , from 
. the spot where stood. Oh said the wolf 
how da.re you drink of it at all till I hSve 
had my fill? Then the poor lamb told him that 
as yet her dams milk was both food and drink 
to her. Be that as it may said the wolf 
you are a bad la.n:b for last year I heard 
that you spoke ill of me and all iry race. 
Last year dread sir, quoth the lamb, why 
I have not yet been shorn, and at the time 
you name 1 was not borne ^-
